As
a prospective student-athlete at a Division I or II institution, you
have certain responsibilities to attend to before you may participate.
Do well in school, take your SAT’s and Contact the Clearinghouse
*Students
should register with the clearinghouse
after the completion of their junior
year in high school. At this time, a
transcript, which includes six semesters
of grades, should be sent to the
clearinghouse
from the high
school. Additionally, students
should have their SAT or ACT test scores
forwarded directly to the clearinghouse
whenever they take the exam.
ATTENTION: All
prospective student-athletes intending to enroll in an
NCAA Division I or II institution for the first time on
or after August 1, 2007 must complete the NCAA
Amateurism Certification questionnaire.
( If you enrolled full time in a Division I or II
institution prior to the Fall of 2007, you do not need
to complete the amateurism questions.)
Attention 2007 high school
graduates! The NCAA has adopted new legislation that will require prospects
who intend to enroll at NCAA Division I and Division II institutions to
supply ACT or SAT scores to the Clearinghouse directly from the testing
agencies. Test scores on an official high school transcript will no longer
be usable for NCAA purposes. Read more on this under "News and Views" behind
the "General Information" heading of this website.
You need to
complete the following:
-
Graduate from
high school;
-
Complete a
minimum of 14* core courses;
-
Present a
minimum grade-point average (GPA) in
those 14* core courses; and
-
Present a
qualifying test score on either the ACT
or SAT test.
* In Division
I, the minimum number of core courses is 16
for students who enter a Division I school
August 1, 2008, and after.
You
need to look at your high school's list of
NCAA-approved core courses. Follow these
steps:
-
Go to the
NCAA
Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse Web
site
-
Click on
"General Information"
-
Click on "List
of Approved Core Courses"
-
Input your
high school's code (if you know it) or
search by your high school's name and
state.
-
Review the
list
Very
important: If a core course you
took is not on the list, it won't be used in
your eligibility determination. Courses that
appear on your transcript must exactly match
what is on the list.
*The NCAA
core-course grade-point average is
calculated using only NCAA-approved core
courses in the required 14 core units.
High-school grade-point averages generally
include the grades from most or all courses
attempted in grades nine through 12.
Important Information About Division I and
Division II Initial-Eligibility Changes
The Division I and
Division II initial-eligibility requirements
have changed.
WHAT IS THE NEW RULE?
The new requirements increase the number of
required core courses from 13 to 14. The
additional course may come from any of the
following areas: English, mathematics,
natural/physical science, social science,
foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or
philosophy. Please see the
important notice below
about the elimination of
computer science.
For the
classes of 2005, 2006 and 2007: Division I and
Division II
If you plan to enter
college in 2005 or after, your eligibility will
be determined under the new rule. That means
that you must have 14 core courses to be
eligible to practice, play and receive financial
aid at a Division I or Division II school.
For the class
of 2008: Division I only -- 16 core courses
If you plan to enter
college in 2008 or after, you will need to
present 16 core courses in the following
breakdown:
-
4 years of
English
-
3 years
of mathematics (Algebra I or higher)
-
2 years of
natural/physical science (one must be a lab
science)
-
1 year of
additional English, math or
science
-
2 years of social
studies
-
4
years of additional core courses (from
any area listed above, or from foreign
language, nondoctrinal religion or
philosophy)
Computer
science is being eliminated for core-course
purposes
Computer science
courses will no longer be able to be used for
initial-eligibility purposes. This rule is
effective August 1, 2005, for students first
entering a collegiate institution on or after
August 1, 2005. Computer science courses (such
as programming) that are taught through the
mathematics or natural/physical science
departments and receive either math or science
credit and are on the high school's list of
approved core courses as math or science may be
used after the August 1, 2005, date.
Remember, core-course requirements may be different from state
requirements or requirements of independent school districts.
The core courses are designated to fulfill the NCAA's
initial-eligibility requirements, which certify the eligibility of
student-athletes to participate in sports at an NCAA Division I or II
institution during their freshman year of college. If you have
questions about this process, please call the Clearinghouse at
319/337-1492 or toll free at 877/262-1492.
Review all the information on your high school's List of
NCAA-Approved Core Courses to verify accuracy.
It is critical that the titles of the courses listed on
the form match exactly the terminology that your school
uses on official high school transcripts, so review them
carefully.
